I came across this post about being in charge of your own career (and personal) development by constantly learning and improving:

This is something that I have always very firmly beleived in and want to encourage at Ezone.

An interesting phrase from an article about usability return on investment:

"According to our survey, spending 10% of your development budget on usability should improve your conversion rate by 83%. You can probably double the conversion rate by spending less than 15% of your development budget."

While this phrase stands out it is worth taking it in context: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/roi.html

While there is not much by way of documentation (by google standards!) on nhibernates caching, as it is a port of Hibernate (Java) the cahcing system seems to be the same.

Here is a good all round article on undersanding what hibernate (and therefore nhibernate) caching is and what it does.

UPDATE: 24/01/2008
Here is the nhibernate help on caching:

http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/nhibernate/1.2/reference/en/html/caches.html

In the future by changing the provider form SysCache to SysCache2 - SQL Notifications can be used to ensure that the cache (or a particular cache region) is cleared on changes to particular tables.

To create image maps with polygons etc can be quite awkward and time consuming.
